Poetry
Richard the Cruel ( part 2)
By maipenrai

Nasty!


I remember well those days of delight
those days of my depraved power,
Oh yes, I know what I am
and best you be fearful of
my rage and depravity.

they were there for my bidding
those young boys and girls
and after, my appetite sated
for them to live or die
was within my command.

days of lustful joy for me
days of fear and terror for my subjects,
but let it not be forgotten
they are there to be used and abused
those spineless beast of burden
my peasents.

their children were mine
and should  I have a mind
should it please me,
their children I would take and
I   would tear asunder any that opposed me
in my pleasure.

I am burning now
upon this stake and
the peasents and imbeciles
they think I am gone
fools!, they know nothing,
for as it not been foretold
that others will come and
continue my work,
for  I am Legion
I  am Richard the Cruel and
your children I  shall take.

Very prosy in places - but a very effective piece. This sent shivers down my spine. This and its companion are (for me) your best pieces on GW by a long way.  
 
The overall effect adds up to so much more than the words. Quite an achievement. 
 
For me, excellent.
